    Costa is a genuine horrible cunt. The sooner somebody takes a 15-match ban for the team and kicks him square in the balls the better.

    I love Costa, god it be great to have him in your team. People are comparing him to Suarez.. Which I don't think is fair, biting people and being a physical beast are totally different.

    He's been done retrospectively for violent conduct and, barring an unlikely successful appeal, will be banned for three games. Although I guess one of those games will be Walsall on Wednesday, so further lol at Arsenal.

    He should be banned for 20+ games, a) because he's a tit and b) because Arsenal fans deserve the moral high ground.

    He's despicable and he won't change until the FA throw the book at him. Which they won't, because they're spineless.

    The downside to them doing it would be the fact we'd all have to endure more of that massive bore Mourinho moaning about it.

    Better yet, lets get Kevin Muscat out of retirement, he was always good for a leg breaker.

    I'd love to see someone get him properly seething one day. Someone like Chiellini beating him at his own game.

    I enjoy how much he seems to rile people, especially Arsenal fans.

    I also like having pantomime villains in football, the guys who get booed and abused at every single ground in the country. It's fun and part of followning the game.

    He's obviously a twat but people really need to calm down.

    I do find it more and more amusing the more vitriolic it gets. Yeah, I probably wouldn't feel the same if he played for somebody else, but I'd rather a wind up merchant who just disrupts things and occasionally goes a bit too far roughing up other players, than some dirty cunt midfielder who is constantly jumping into two footed tackles and actually hurting people.

    Costa's stamp on Can last season was indefensible, but I can't think of anything else he's done that warrants being called "a genuine horrible cunt".

    It's always a laugh to watch Costa off the ball, the constant nudges as he jogs into spaces, the way he backs into defenders and his constant winding up.

    This.

    He's great fun to watch, and a very effective player. It would just be better if he didn't overstep the mark quite so much.

    Surely the referee should be getting a ban now? Basically the FA have said he got that whole decision completely wrong.

    They can only ban Costa because he didn't see it. If he'd given a yellow that would be that.

    No idea how Gabriel can have his rescinded, while Costa should have been sent off as well, kicking out at another player is a red card. Unless they're saying Costa shouldn't have been on the pitch at that point.

    I guess you could argue he was just backing into Costa and may have only "accidentally" kicked him.

    But what they are basically saying is that Costa was being a big mean bully to Gabriel who couldn't know better because of it, the poor little Arsenal thing.

    You really couldn't.

    It may have been one of the ponciest kicks you're ever likely to see, but it definitely wasn't just a walking movement.

    I think it's a logic thing. If Diego Costa had been sent off for the red, Gabriel wouldn't have come over yada, yada. Basically as the mistake predates any of the other actions then the rest don't count.

    Because the replays show Gabriel didn't make contact with Costa.

    One reply I have seen shows Gabriel do a slight kick, but its nothing. All the comments I have heard from retired players say the same. The ref should of booked them and told them to sort it out or you will be off next time.
